WRX USA Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 I need to check out those Osram HID replacement bulbs. I got a Zerosports cabin filter yesterday because of your thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wesleyCrowbar Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 How am I just seeing this? Thanks for documenting this whole thing. It looks like this is the shop I'll use when I move to LA. I'll be doing some JDM swapping in the next year or so, so it's good to see there's a shop that's done the work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will hook you up with a great rate and quality work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

valleylegacy Posted June 27, 2017 Author Share Posted June 27, 2017 Man, the delays never stop. Now it's looking like the 29th that it will be picked up from the shop and shipped to my mechanic/tuner for some more work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wpmarky Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 The pink springs are 7.6k? I didn't know they were that stiff, I thought they were in the 200-300 lb range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well we also have to take in account that the 06, 07 JDM TBSTI Bilsteins and the 08 JDM S402 Bilsteins are valved so differently compared to the USDM SPEC B. I've been continuing to dig deep and researching the specs on the Bilsteins for those cars has been difficult. I've only been able to retrieve the data on the 06 JDM TBSTI Bilsteins which is: Front: 1,650/1,000(N/mm) = 1650 kg / s2 Rear: 1,800/900(N/mm) = 2000 kg / s2 THE 08 JDM S402 Wagon is the heaviest of the BL/BP trims at 1520kg curb weight. Which is roughly 3350lbs. Maybe that explains the stiffer springs used. I got a price for the S402 Wagon Bilsteins and it's a very temping thing but just can't justify the price. So I will stick with the used 06 TBSTI Bilsteins that I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wpmarky Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Can you share where you got the 7.6k rates from? If I knew they were that stiff I would consider those as well, the bilstein/pink setup was my favorite on my spec.b This site is saying 257/lbs (4.5k) for the fronts and 217 (4k) for the rear. https://www.edoperformance.com/products/sti-pink-springs-front-rear-05-legacy-gt-at ps: those seats look amazing!

The data was from STI of Japan itself. Subaru of Japan and STI are believe it or not actually separate entities. When I spoke to Subaru of Japan about rates for the springs on the S402 and TBSTI models, they had no clue. I had to be referred to STI to get the data. Then at STI they were very secretive as well. The part numbers for the S402 Wagon springs I purchased are completely different from any of the part numbers people know of for JDM pinks and they are not the same rating. The link you provided has the part numbers for the JDM pinks for the older first series of revisions which are meant for the 03-05 JDM legacy and Spec B models which had much lower spring rates. The part numbers on the link from EDO are ST2038021010/ST2033021000 The part numbers for the S402 Wagon Springs are: ST2033021090 ST2038021110 completely different springs. Thank you for the compliments btw. I'll continue to update this as the car is finished! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One other thing to consider is that the Bilsteins for the 06,07 Tuned By STI and 08 S402 are completely different in the way they are valved compared to the 07,08,09 USDM SPEC B. The JDM pinks wold probably not be best suited for the USDM SPEC B struts as there are huge differences in the valving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wpmarky Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Fascinating, thanks for sharing! The S402 suspension sounds ideal, are those springs also progressive or more linear? Are they the same height as the other pink springs? The only reason I went from my bilstein/STI pink setup was cuz i wanted stiffer. Had I known of this S402 option I would have probably gone for that. Thanks again for your thorough documentation, always fun to learn more about these cars! Amazing to see this built from the ground up. The data was from STI of Japan itself. Subaru of Japan and STI are believe it or not actually separate entities.

Amazing to see this built from the ground up. I agree with you the JDM Bilsteins and S402 / TBSTI pinks are much better than the USDM stuff. The ride height on the S402 Sedan is higher than the S402 Wagon. I don't know what accounts for that other than the S402 Sedan springs are not the same as the S402 Wagon ones.

magnusonsubie Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 7k for the paint? That's actually on the cheaper side of the going rate. I had a few quotes while in CA of 8-10k to respray my wagon OBP. 2005 Vader Wagon Material Tests on Ringland Failure Piston I should have held off and purchased a wagon instead of the spec.B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
